ON KEEPING GZOOD COMPANY

Dear Anita,

A man is known by the company the keeps. A bit of gold in a lump of brass will begin to look like brass. One reason why all of us cannot find diamonds is that they are mixed with thousands of tons of coal. Therefore, always keep good company whenever you are_ _ _ at school or in the street. You will make better and quicker progress. You will learn many useful things without effort. Everybody will love and admire you. With heaps of love.

Yours lovingly,

Auntie.
